Pumpkins at a local farm sell for $.49 per pound. jim ring spent $73.50. how many pounds of pumpkins were purchased?

Number of pounds purchased multiplied by price per pound equals the total $ spent.

x= # pumpkin pounds purchased
0.49x=$73.50
Divide both sides by 0.49
x=150 pumpkin pounds purchased

Hope this helps! :)
